Sorry I have created a fuss. I know what most people think of me and I feel that way too sometimes. I just am trying to find a way to make a living. Thanks for the couple of helpful posts.

I am 51 yo, am I going to be able to get a truck driving job once I complete a school?
My advice. Go to the middle of a field. Dig a 6 foot hole. Jump in. Pull the dirt back over yourself. Maybe the next life you will come back as a slug. It would be a big improvement.

I think it will depend on whether it is listed as a felony or misdemeanor. Since it has been 20 years ago, it may not present much of a problem to some companies. Your best bet is to contact some carriers and ask them. There are several recruiters on this forum who could better answer your question, since they deal with this on a daily basis. Sheepdancer, Blue Beetle, and Twilight Flyer are 3 recruiters who are on this board. There are others. You could pm them if you wish.

No. No company should hire him. And I would like a list of companies that do.

I made a error on the years. It has only been 10 years. That may or may not make a difference. I agree that he will find it difficult to find work in this profession. I have no sympathy for anyone who harms a child. He never stated that he molested a child. He said pornography. But whether he did or not doesn't make the charge any less severe. The one who took the pictures did do harm to those children. I have never understood why or how anyone could see a child in that way. :evil:
